Not by the criteria of Malstrom's blog it's not; he basically says that Super Mario Bros created a market for all 2D side scrollers that followed. If SMB paved the way for Castlevania: Symphony of the Night, then Super Mario 64 did so for Uncharted and every other polygonal 3rd person camera controlled game, regardless of differing themes or gameplay specifics. Same way Wolfenstein or Doom did for Portal and Half-Life.
